Are you interested in joining the Mazamas? Or are you interested in an overview of the Mazamas, our Publications, and more? Then you have come to the right place! Become part of a century-long tradition in the Pacific Northwest.

As we navigate the ongoing stay-at-home situation, we have launched online trainings and presentations for our community. Tune in in real-time on Zoom or Facebook Live, or watch the recordings when it is convenient for you. You can tell us what you would like to learn or experience, and also volunteer to be a presenter.

On March 23, 2020 Governor Brown issues a stay at home order for Oregonians. The Mazama Mountaineering Center and Mazama activities and programs are closed/cancelled indefinitely. You can continue to call us at 503-227-2345 and email us with any Mazama-related questions you have. Our staff is working remotely, as our many of our committees, and will respond to you in a timely fashion.

In order to better support staff as they work from home, the Mazama Mountaineering Center's office phone line hours have been shifted to:

The Mazamas offers a robust hiking program to serve just about every ability level. We have leaders who like to take their time meandering along flat trails for a short duration, while other want to hike at a fast clip up the side of a mountain. You get to choose what is best for you!

This summer the Mazamas have three different running camp opportunities to satisfy runners of all levels! You can choose from the instructional focused Mountain Running Camp: Intro, our three-day trip around Mt. Hood in the Mountain Running Camp: Intermediate, or the one-day circumnavigation with the Ultra Running Camp. Whichever one you choose, it is certain to be long weekend you never forget!

On June 12, 1894, an advertisement in the morning edition of the Oregonian invited “Climbers and Lovers of Nature...” to assemble on the summit of Mt. Hood. 300 people answered the call, 193 of them summited, and 105 of those formed the Mazamas.

Since our origins in 1894, the Mazamas have had a long, successful record of conservation and preservation. Today, we strive to increase the organization’s visibility and influence within the community and beyond, to ensure the protection of our precious natural areas.

Earn Mazama Badges

Mazama badges are a fun way to keep a record of your achievements, share your progress with friends, and set personal goals for your growth and engagement. We also use badges to determine your eligibility for certain classes, activities, and opportunities. If you have taken a class or completed a climbing activity with the Mazamas in the last five years, you can look forward to new badges showing up on your profile automatically within the next few months.

Join the Mazamas and tie in to a centennial legacy in mountaineering. Learn new skills and participate in exciting adventures, all while advancing the causes of conservation & community in the great Pacific Northwest
